[Dxbase] 'Log Current Entry'

[Gary AL9A]

Ok, now I feel really stupid!  I've been using DXBase since 2001 (I think!) 
and this is the first time I've ever heard of being able to program keys 
with shortcuts!  Ouch!!!  Can't tell you how long I've wished for the 
ability to send CW with an F key rather than clicking one of the memory 
icons with the mouse.  Just programmed my F keys and it works great.  Now to 
see what other shortcuts I may want to create.  Can't believe I've never 
seen this discussed on the reflector before.  Live and learn!

73,
Gary AL9A
